Darkeinu: The Path Forward: Celebrating the Future of Synagogue LifeHonoring our own Rabbi Noah Cheses

2020 YIOS Trip to Israel!
Several people have approached Rabbi Cheses about organizing a shul trip next year, leaning on the expertise of our past member Yitzchak Sokolof. The trip would likely be 6-8 days, include one Shabbat and have the option of going early or extending afterwards. The trip would take place in February when there are many discounted deals that bundle flight and airline tickets. We already have 6-8 interested people and probably need 4-6 more in order to make it happen. The theme of the trip would be on a unique aspect of Israel that we are not often exposed to (ex- high tech sector, solar energy, history of the Mishnah etc.)
The group that goes will have final say on the theme/s.
Please be in touch with Rabbi Cheses (rabbi@yisharon.org) or with Dan Shimshak (daniel.shimshak@umb.edu) about your interest in this opportunity.

Clothing and Toiletries Drive
Please donate new toiletries and women's clothing in good condition (t-shirts, jeans, sweatpants, yoga pants, & new undergarments) for Rosie's Place, a women's shelter, through September 27th. The donation bin is located in the hallway with the Siddurim.
